P{XP} insertion lines from Exelixis were remapped and assessed for inclusion in the Gene Disruption Project collection; flanking sequence data were submitted to GenBank.
A set of transgenic insertion stocks derived by TE mobilization using the P-element construct P{XP}. The P{XP} construct carries the w+mC mini-white marker, long (199-bp) Scer\FRT sites, and is designed to allow flexible use of Scer\UAS sites for Scer\GAL4-driven misexpression of adjacent genes. FRT sites allow Scer\FLP-mediated recombination between other FRT-containing elements, and thus can be used to generate molecularly defined deletions.
Exelixis, Inc. determined the insertion site of the progenitor P{XP}d05431 to be Release 3 genomic coordinate 20280511 on chromosome arm 2L. This corresponds to 38C5 on the Release 3 and Release 5 genome maps.
